Kins of 2,020 UP staff who died of COVID during polls to receive 30 Lakhs each

Families of at least 2,020 government employees who died of Covid-19 during panchayat poll duty will receive Rs 30lakh each in compensation after revised calculations by the UP Panchayati raj department.

Additional chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh told 3,092 applications were received under revised protocols for determining death on duty from Covid-19 and 2,020 cases were recommended as eligible for compensation. “There are an additional 10-20 cases which will be forwarded to the state advisory board on Covid. Once they confirm eligibility, their families too will receive compensation,” he said. Under the earlier definition of death on duty, the government identified 74 government employees who died of Covid and non-Covid reasons. The rules stated ex-gratia would be given only if the employee died on duty or during travel to and from place of duty, which factored in a day or maximum two, depending on how far the employee travelled.
